RIP Dr. KOCH. I am truly saddened by your passing, and ever so thankful that I was blessed to have you in my life to deliver my children, my grandchildren, and my niece and nephew. You were not only my Dr., but you were also my Mother's, Grandmother's, sister's, and daughter's. Four generations. You brought 8 babies into the World in my family, and you were the BEST Dr. With the BEST bedside manner. I will forever hold you in my heart.

I just found out that Dr. Koch passed away! I am so sorry to hear this!
I was his first nurse when he came to OB/GYN Specialists in 1978. I worked with him for 2 years and then I "retired" to start my family. He was a lot of fun to work with! My condolences to his family.

A legend.

I just found out today that the beloved Dr. Koch had passed away. He delivered my 2 children who are now 33 and 29. He also delivered my 2 granddaughters who are now 10 and 7. He will always have a special place in our hearts and family. I was truly blessed by just knowing him.

I'm so sad to hear that Dr. Koch passed away. He was my doctor for the last 19 years. He delivered my second son, and literally saved my life after I suffered complications from my first delivery. Dr. Ronald Koch was an extraordinary physician and a beautiful person inside and out. I was very fortunate to have him as my doctor throughout the years. He will be greatly missed by his patients who loved him.
My sincere condolences to his family.

Dr. Koch will be missed and was loved by many. He was my doctor for 28 years after a chance meeting in the Good Samaritan E.R. where he saved my life. I was bleeding internally from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
I loved his sense of humor and his compassion for his patients. He always made me feel special and that he really cared about me and my family.
He was a special person!
Sincere condolences to his family.

Dr. Koch pretty much held my hand and made a profound impression on me while I tried to get pregnant with my second child but suffered 2 miscarriages. He was by my side after he preformed the surgery to remove that second baby. Ill never forget him making me smile as I laid in recovery after that second surgery just to here a baby crying a few beds away from me and thinking id not here that sound again. He came in as I was crying and grabbed my hand and promised me I was healthy and itd be...

Paulette, you and Ronnie were our first Palm Beach friends when we relocated from Massachusetts with our daughter and her husband 27 years ago. Ronnie delivered our two grandsons. Though we lost touch due to busy lives, you and Ronnie often come to mind for so many reasons. Carole and I send our blessings to you and your family to help ease your loss.

I am so sad to learn that Dr. Koch passed away. He delivered my daughter 13 years ago after yelling at me to push "his way so we can get this baby out!" He would be stern with me about my weight but I always appreciated how kind he was about it. I will never forget him. Rest in Peace Dr. Koch, my condolences to your lovely family who I saw pictures of in his office.
